Description

From user group.

Here's the table definition:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE hb_user_actions(key string, action_params map<string, string>)
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key, a:")
TBLPROPERTIES("hbase.table.name" = "user_actions");

Querying this table throws IllegalStateException. Impala should raise a proper error instead.
